Revenue Accounting Manager

Who we are

Samsara (NYSE: IOT) is the pioneer of the Connected Operations™ Cloud, which is a platform that enables organizations that depend on physical operations to harness Internet of Things (IoT) data to develop actionable insights and improve their operations. At Samsara, we are helping improve the safety, efficiency and sustainability of the physical operations that power our global economy. Representing more than 40% of global GDP, these industries are the infrastructure of our planet, including agriculture, construction, field services, transportation, and manufacturing — and we are excited to help digitally transform their operations at scale.

Working at Samsara means you’ll help define the future of physical operations and be on a team that’s shaping an exciting array of product solutions, including Video-Based Safety, Vehicle Telematics, Apps and Driver Workflows, and Equipment Monitoring. As part of a recently public company, you’ll have the autonomy and support to make an impact as we build for the long term.

About the role:

Samsara’s Revenue Accounting team owns how revenue is recognized, reported, and controlled for Samsara’s Connected Operations Platform. As our Revenue Accounting Manager, you will lead the contract review process that turns complex, non-standard customer agreements into defensible ASC 606 conclusions, and ensure deliverables are accurate, automated, and audit-ready. This is a high-visibility role that sits at the intersection of Accounting, Sales, Legal, and Deal Desk — you will help shape deals before they are signed, not just account for them afterward.

You will report to the Director of Revenue Accounting, partnering daily with Deal Desk, Legal, Sales, Revenue Operations, and our external auditors. The work balances technical depth — ASC 606 judgment on novel deal structures — with operational leverage: automating the manual work out of our close and our controls.

This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the United States.

You should apply if:

- You want to impact the industries that run our world: Your efforts will result in real-world impact – helping to keep the lights on, get food into grocery stores, reduce emissions, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely.

- You are the architect of your own career: If you put in the work, this role won’t be your last at Samsara. We set up our employees for success and have built a culture that encourages rapid career development, countless opportunities to experiment and master your craft in a hyper growth environment.

- You’re energized by our opportunity: The vision we have to digitize large sectors of the global economy requires your full focus and best efforts to bring forth creative, ambitious ideas for our customers.

- You want to be with the best: At Samsara, we win together, celebrate together and support each other. You will be surrounded by a high-calibre team that will encourage you to do your best.

In this role, you will:

- Lead the Contract Review process end-to-end: evaluate non-standard and complex customer contracts, determine the appropriate ASC 606 treatment, and document technical accounting positions in memos that stand up to auditor, leadership, and SEC-reporting scrutiny.

- Drive automation and enhancement of existing processes and controls: scope and lead improvements to revenue systems, close activities, and control design — from business case through go-live — eliminating manual effort while improving accuracy and timeliness.

- Partner with Sales, Legal, and Deal Desk teams during contract negotiations to structure deals and optimize revenue outcomes, advising on terms that affect revenue timing, classification, and presentation before agreements are signed.

- Support internal and external audits and maintain SOX compliance: own the revenue control narratives, deliver audit-ready support, and resolve requests directly with internal audit and our external auditors.
